We call the special attention of on
readers to the new spring card of that 10 ad
ing and popular clothing house of Baltimor
Messrs. Mabley & Carew. The unusual en-
terprise shown by this firm, has shown it
natural fruits in one of the largest trade
built up in that city within very few years
The secret Of thi. success may also be locke
for in the fact, that everything you buy c
them is the best for its cost. You don't com
out of their store and see the duplicate {
what you have just bought of them, in som
other store at a less price. No such dissa
isfaction as often occurs from this cause
known to their trade. They cordially il
wife Cecil county buyers to make their stoI
their headquarters when in Baltimor,
They mean it. Stop and examine the
stock, even if you buy nothing.
